Dear Nga,
I have just returned from a trip to Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh province with my family. The sight was extremely magnificent.
It took us three days by coach to get there from Dak Nong. We spent more than a week there.
The weather was perfect. It was sunny, cool and windy. We enjoyed walking along the seaside at night very much.
It was really interesting when we knew about the formation of lime stones in the sea. We really want to come back there when we have time next year.
That’s all the time to tell you about. Where are you going to visit next summer vacation? Write to me in your free time.
Your friend,
Mai
